The reasons why the PF convention will not happen:
1. There is an injunction against the PF convention.
2. Given Lubinda does not want to give up the PF President title, as evidenced by his statement yesterday that he is the most popular, talented, and wise man to lead PF.
3. Under any model, the party holds its convention, Given Lubinda does not want to lose at the conference, as it would be a huge embarrassment for his political career, so he will continue clinging to the PF President title.
4. Since Mundubile has technically left the so-called PF Presidential race, the rest of the candidates would have been okay losing to Brian Mundubile, not Lubinda. Neither Kambwili nor Mutotwe Kafwaya would want to lose to Given Lubinda. Most candidates will likely pull out.
5. Even if PF were to hold a convention today, they do not have a party, as it legally belongs to Chabinga.
I must say that Hon. Brian Mundubile has done well to leave the Lubinda-led faction, which had planned to expel him after the Kasama elections. Aspiring to lead the biggest alliance in the country, he will eventually become the president of FDD.
Kaya, efyo fyenu. Continue playing useless games while HH and UPND are moving forward with Zambians.
Massive confusion in pf, to say the least, hh may get 98% this time around
Tonse Alliance is no longer the biggest Alliance.
Patriots for Economic Progress ( Sean Tembo) , Green Party ( Peter Sinkamba) , New Congress Party ( Pastor Chanda) , Zambia Republican Party ( Wright Musoma) , United for a Better Zambia( Mr Soondo) , have all left. Meanwhile the Patriotic Front has been expelled. There are only 3 parties in Tonse Alliance.. FDD, Pule’s Christian Democratic Party, and New Era Democratic Party.
Brian Mundubile can join FDD if he wants. I doubt if members of FDD will accept that.
The Patriotic Front Convention will be held.. Even a platform like Friends of the Patriotic Front can hold a Convention on behalf of the Patriotic Front..May be a new Political Party has been formed which will be the Special Purpose Vehicle.
Tonse Alliance is not a registered Organisation. It’s holding a Convention on 31st January, 2026.
